To find the surface area of a cylinder, you need to calculate the area of the two circular bases and the area of the curved surface.
The area of each circular base can be found using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
For the given cylinder, each base has a radius of 5 inches, so the area of each base is:
A = 3.14 * 5^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square inches
The curved surface area can be found using the formula A = 2Ï€rh, where A is the area, r is the radius, and h is the height.
For the given cylinder, the radius is 5 inches and the height is 10 inches, so the curved surface area is:
A = 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 10 = 314 square inches
Adding the areas of the two bases and the curved surface, we get the total surface area:
Surface area = 2 * 78.5 + 314 = 157 + 314 = 471 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches.
Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi.(1 point)
